Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Canvid at 100% against Tumblium's 33%. Canvid also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tumblium's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
